that the Democratic counties have Is, 9O6
pensioners, while Republican counties have
only 1900 pensioners, q difference in
favor of the Democratic counties of 3,237,
And thus it happens that one by one, as
the years go by, the miserable superstruc-
ture of lies which the Republican party
built as refuge, is torn down by the cease
less assaults of truth which, for time, was
crushed by the Republican party, but
which now is asserting its power because
1.-THE eternal years of God are hers
The verdict of the American people, since
the days when the Republican party
reached the climax of its power, has often
been rendered. They have heard Republican
orators and editors extol the Republican
party and denounce the Democratic party,
and then they have voted, and every time
the Republican party has been pronounced
q lying party-a viciously corrupt party
and finally it has reached such soundless
depths of Infamy that it is known as the
assassination party. The facts with regard
to pensions in Indiana is another nail
driven into the coffin of the venomous
thing which, though it can still rattle with
its tail, is harmless because the Democratic
party has extracted its fangs.

PENsIONING SOLDIERS.

There was time, not long ago, when the
existence, the life, Of the Union trembled
in the balance. The question was: "Save
the Union" The cry rang out from the
Pine Tree State to the Golden Gate-Save
the Union Who saved the Union? Who
brought back the "erring States to their
allegiance? Who gave US back the Union,
one aud lndivisible? The SOLDIERS of the
Union Army-the private soldiers the
"boys in blue" the men OF the knapsack,
Of the gun, of the canteen-the boys who
tramped, who watched, who fought-not
only those who were wounded, not only
those who were killed, but those who met
the storms of fire and lead and iron, and
survived.
What was the union worth? To hear
some blatherskites talk about pensioning
survivors, it might be thought that only
the dead and wounded saved the nnion-
that there is absolutely no debt of graft
tude due those who marched and fought
and survived, who were neither killed nor
crippled.
The Indianapolis News has been con-
spicuous in opposing anything like lib.
eral pension policy. Any one to read its
drivel upon the subject might prudently
conclude that 1t feels the crushing burden
of taxation consequent upon the payment
of pensions to the men who saved the
union. Here is specimen of its vaporing:
The most active protective" influence
and the most difficult to encounter is that
which Joins the clamor of agents and
scheemers fer universal pensions. Not the
help that goes to the needy or the dis
abled, to which nobody objects, but the
payment of public money to everybody,
sick or well, strong or weak, old or young,
crippled or whole, who entered the govern.
ment service during the war.
In entering the government service dur
ing the war was unlike entering any other
service during the war. In entering the
government service, the man, old or
youny, took his life in his hands. He
went forth to perform duty, in which, If
successful, no amount of money he could
hope for, from his government, could ever
reduce by the fraction of farthing, the
debt of gratitude his country owed him.
The pay be received, together with all the
bounIies bestowed upon him, was no
proper compensation for the services rend-
cred his country. Bat sheets, like the In.
dianapolis News,sAre of the opinion that
Union soldiers, IL they escaped wounds
and sickness. il they were not killed in
battle, should be content With what they
have received for their services in saving
the Uui "a.
Such opposition t. peusioning soldiers
shoes very conclusivsly the estimate
those who indulge IN such opposition
place upon the U dion of the States. Tne
theory that all the cost OF the war OF tht
rebellion should fall upon the generation
which fought the battles, made all the sac
riHces and sustained all the losses haI

THE STATE TREASURY.

The Sentinel has brought to light num-
Der of astonishing facts relating to the con-
dition of the State Treasury. For several
months past the finances of the State have
been in the hands of Republicans. 1t has
been brought to light that these officials
are, without exception, the most stupid set
that ever had charge OF such important
matters. II only stupidity could be al
legged against them the state of affairs
would be less grave. But it appears that
these Republican asinine officials have not
hesitated to mix with their asininity a
very large per cent. of contemplate pari
san chicanery, and have sought, by du-
plicity and deception, to make it appear
that the errors of their total lack of ca
pacity are traceable to their Democratic
predecessors. The present gang of Re-
publican officials-'gsng," a favorite
blackguardism OF the Journal-has been
singularly anxious to pay out the States
funds to q miserable impostor known as
Robertson, who claims to be Lieutenant.
Governor. To do this. the Republican At
torney- General gave it as his opinion that
Robertson was entitled to pay for services
he never rendered, and was no more emit
tied TO the money he pocketed by the rape
upon the Treasury than was Hubbell to
the money he extorted from Government
employees to aid Rspu blican victories.

STATE FINANCES.

The Philadelphia Times remarks: ''They
haven'ta dollar in the State Treasury Of
Indiana" This statement is not all truth,
nor yet all falsehood, but the Times uses
it as If it were all truth, and yet the Times
makes 1t for an exceedingly discreditable
purpose, nothing more or less, as is shown,
by Juggling in the name of Senator Voor-
hees, than to ipjure the Democratic party,
and to the extent OF its influence to injure
the financial standing OF the State of Indi-
ana, intimating that an empty Treasury is
the Indiana idea. There are newspapers,
plenty of them, which delight in misrep.
resentation-which live, move, and have
their being In the foul, murky atmosphere
of SANDER, but the Philadelphia Times has
aspired to responsibility and decency, and
we have supposed it to be incapable of re-
sorting to falsehoed to vent its spite to-
ward state or any of its distinguished
citizens.
The State of Indiana is just now fnau-
cjally embarrassed because OF fall
ure on the part of its late Legislature to
pass certain bills to provide against the
financial difficulties now existing, and
which it was clearly seen would arise, and
which were distinctly pointed out.
The Indiana idea, that is to say, the In
diana Democratic idea, was to provide
against any financial endorsements in
conducting the State government.
The Democrats in the late Legislature
40 -. frxI ~
any State interest requiring money, and
bills providing for every emergency were
INTRODUCED and passed by the Senate, in
which body Democrats were in the major
ity. The House was controlled by Repub-
Iicans, and the entire weight of the respon-
sibility for any financial embarrassment
which the State now labors under, is
chargeable to the Republican party. From
this responsibility the Republican psrtysis
without the means of escape. The state
ment is absolutely true; and since the
Democratic Senate could not control the
Republican House, no responsibility what
ever attaches either to Democrats or to the
Democratic party.
The Indianapolis Journal utterly regard
less of truth, preferring fslsehood to fact,
makes weak attempt to show that under
Democratic management certain funds
were drawn upon, or overdrawn, etc., all
of which is the very climax of purility.
1t had previously sought by malicious men
dacIty to embarass the State financially by
the most wanton attacks upon the State
Treasurer, and its recent efforts to shift the
responsibility of the financial condition of
the State upon Democrats, or upon the
Democratic party, is simply another in
stance of total disregard of truthtulness.
1t should be said, because it can be truth
fully asserted, that no State in the Union
has a better credit than Indiana, nor does
any State more promptly meet all of its
obligations and Notwithstanding the finan-
cial perplexities and difficulties which the
State government is experiencing no per.
manent injury will result, and in due time
the party which brought them upon the
State will be exiled from any participation
in st ate affairs.

covered up and that the refusal of the late
Republican House to consider the loan bill
passed by the Democratic Senate to relieve
the present stress of the State Treasury,
will be forgotten. If the State Auditor had
been examining the books and preparing
himself for the responsibilities of the offics
last winter instead of heading a mob OF
of Republican toughs to beat down the
doors of the Senate chamber, he would be
better equipped to-day for the duties of an
Office that he is no more fitted for than one

remarked the other day, "They are GER

people of Indiana ever sent up 70 the cap

State Fair usually attracts large numbers
of the good people of Indiana to the cap
itaI and the season is now near at hand.
We invite them during their visit to stake

collection made there by the Republican

materialized Republicanism that will meet

been vicious from the beginning. Future
generations who will enjoy in fabulous
measure the benefits resulting from the
Union of these States would be grateful
for the privilege of contributing some
share of the expense. In discussing the
ability of a Nation to pay soldiers who
saved the Union, pensions, it is we'll worth
while to consider the wealth of the Nation,
and the rapid increase of its wealth. The
figures are well calculated to surprise the
reader.
The valuation of the property Of the
United States was:
In $50 22S
II 10, los, loU6o
IN io1U O6S, 5l8 5O7
III 45,o4l,VOO,UOO
1t will be observed that the rate of in
crease in wealth from 1850 to 1860 was 12S
per cent; from 1860 to 1870 it was 81 per
cent, and from 1870 to 1880 was 43 per
cent. II we estimate the increase OF wealth
at the rate from 1870 to 1880, we have, in
1890, total of say SCI, 600 DOC. 900; in 1900,

from 1880, the grand total of the wealth of
the country will stand at the Incompetent
sible sum of $3.50, 600 900, 900. Suppose the

the men who saved the Union, able to pay
pensions to the orphans aud widows and
mothers of those who were killed, and to
those who withstood the shock of battles,

Kitchener and Carr raped the Treasury OF a
large sum of money to pay Republican

INSULTING THE PRESIDENT.

The Republican party is keeping up its
record for insulting Democratic presidents.
We invite attention to the latest outrage as
it occurred last Friday in the city of
Wheeling, and recorded by the Register, of
that city. The full details will be found
elsewhere in this mornings Sentinel.
The only similar occurrence happened
in this city twenty.one years ago, when
Andrew Johnson, then President OF the
United States, was mobbed by local gang
Of Republicans at the Bates House. 1t was
a much more villainous affair than that at
Wheeling. Mr.. Johnson appeared on the
balcony of the hotel to address the people,
when he was greeted by jeers and misses
from a mob of Republicans who
would not allow him to proceed.
The outraged President finally retired
from the balcony when he found that it
was impossible to raise his voice above the
vulgar, din and noise created by the Re.
publican toughs and bummers assembled
in the street below.

1.-THE Grand Army appears bent upon de-
stroyiDg its reputation. If anybody had
said six months ago that it was al OrganI-
cation which would elect blatherskits to
one of its chief offices and sustain him in
declaring that its members would insult
the President of the United States, and
that, worse than this, it would Justify the
prophecy, it would have been declared
the base libel of some malignant enemy OF
the order, yet within six months
all this has come true. TIE Iowa
encampment elected Gen. Tuttle, q
man with an unsavory war record, as lis
chief, and when he threatened that tue
Grand Army men would insult the presi-
dent if he went to st. Louis while they
were there, instead of repudIating the
threat as a SANDER upon their good fame,
the various Posts actually Endorsed the
man who made it, Yesterday q number oil

and either dropped their colors or trailed
them in the dust. No enemy could posi-
bly, have dealt the organization so foul q
blow as 1t has thus itself administered.
Such conduct justi6es the growing impres
sion that the Grand Army has really sunk
into pension grabbing machine which is
no longer entitled to the public respect
